  1. Bregman money isn’t coming at their expense unless you subscribe to bullshit baseball owner economics. If Brown and Brown want to make a deal there’s plenty of money for that and both of those guys should be able to moved absent LMJ type arm catastrophe (I.e., in case the teams ends up shitty inspite of them). More valid, imo.
  2. Picking nits, but nothing was “given”. He signed a deal exchanging presumed market value for security. His next deal, unless he wants to go one year at a time, will have the same bargain presumed of it. The negativity is because it doesn’t look like there’s a better deal out there and the Astros are showing a lot of restraint in leaving their offer on the table. It’s probably not altruistic on their part, as Bergman’s “butts in seats” value is probably higher in Houston than elsewhere (plus, there’s not another obvious candidate to spend the Bregman money on currently), but it’s also out there helping Bregman establish a floor in negotiations with other teams.
  3. Fwiw, I'm in Austin and close to an Academy and it's probably 60% Aggie gear. I just figured that's how they roll.
  4. At a minimum, they are in a position to make it more expensive for us and get a little payback for Terry.
  5. If Wikipedia is correct, the originally script was for a feature and was named on the thriller/horror version of the Hollywood Black list (the “Blood List”) I’ve been wondering the same but I like your explanation. Interesting that both versions appear full of determination, particularly compared to Mark’s passivity.
  6. Perhaps that’s a good thing when the retaliatory tariffs result in less exports.
  7. If that number isn’t accurate then I think they would have cast more doubt on it. I think the story they want to tell is one with people like Bernard and Simms doing horrible things but in good faith that they are protecting the vast majority of the Silo. In other words, we should be able to rely on Bernard’s honesty in that exchange.
  8. I’m pretty sure Bernard said the silos are 340 years old. We’ll see-I don’t know how you end this story if they aren’t leaving the silos, having found a safe place to colonize topside or in search of one. If that’s the case, then it appears that the AI running parts of the Silo and that Lukas encountered may end up being the antagonist. I’m curious why Solo appears to not be receiving direction from the AI in Silo 17, or why it appears they have the technology for silo to silo communication but it’s not being used.
  9. We stayed at the St Regis but went over to the Four Seasons for dinner-I think the latter is a little nicer/more updated. Hector’s was probably the best restaurant we ate at, though we were weren’t normally hungry after pounding ceviche all day on the beach. Sayulita was a little underwhelming as an outing but there’s lots of Americans there for either surfing or working remotely and probably some cool stuff if you have time to explore.
  10. I love the idea of pork and paprika but my family is very German and weekly meals of sauerkraut as a kid has ruined it for me as an adult. Can you make the dish without it or sub in something that doesn’t smell like Oma’s breath?
  11. I almost pulled the trigger on Thursday to sign up before cut-off. Last year’s weather was perfect. I bet they are miserable today with the wind.
  12. We recommend it all the time if someone is making a principal reduction or otherwise meets the requirements. It’s never and “either/or” comparison against a refinance, the latter of which is pretty much always an attempt to either access equity or to lower the finance cost of carrying the note. Bear in mind that everyone outside of depository lending and Rocket relies on referrals to generate leads and it’s obviously bad business to recommend anything not clearly in the borrowers self-interest.
  13. Come again? You're presuming there's even going to be a Department of Education in 6 months.
  14. I’m going to cite Derek Thompson’s podcast again, but he also just had someone on in December to talk about Google’s quantum computer successes if anyone is interested in that. I think the TL:DR was that it was capable of remarkable problem solving given very discrete and specific instructions, but that it was not yet broadly superior to what they refer to as classical computing (also, there may be a thread for this stuff already but we’re veering off Facebook fuckery into far more interesting subjects).
  15. I can't recall who was mentioned but the Chase guy cited some and made the point they have legitimate reasons. At the moment, no one can monetize it to match the degree of investment and subscriptions to LLM shit for resume reviewing isn't a good use case. Bear in mind he's coming at it from an investor standpoint and this isn't VC money he's advising. I presume his enthusiasm is more dampened because it's unclear WHICH firm might win out than that one of the will do so.
